pretty sure that wasn't a fake penalty where he gets knocked over running free on the crossing route in the redzone

Listen Risen star jr only not as interesting You're saying we caught a break on a literal shoulder touch with no actual force? Like really?
We held suh all game he killed us. That I'll give you. Bc I'm smart and objective. Just admit you thought face guarding was a penalty.

no...the one where he's at about the 10 yd line or so and clearly pushed down from behind by the Lion DB
Romo was about to let the ball go but had to pull it down when he saw Bryant go down, took a sack instead

I never made that statement, but I fear this line is massively overrated. good enough to beat the weak sisters but doesn't fare well when big d-lines go toe to toe and punch them in the mouth.

Maybe someone needs to show Pettigrew that pick of him grabbing Hitchens face mask
Pete Morelli: Penalty not warranted

Officials Reverse Call Without Explanation
ARLINGTON, Texas -- As the Dallas Cowboys celebrated their 24-20 wild-card win Sunday, the Detroit Lions left with questions.
With 8:25 left in the game, Cowboys rookie linebacker Anthony Hitchens was initially flagged for pass interference while defending Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew on a third-and-1 pass from the Dallas 46.
Referee Pete Morelli announced the penalty, which would have given the Lions a first down, but moments later changed the call to no penalty. The Lions lined up on fourth down but their attempt to draw the Cowboys offside failed and they eventually punted.
The Cowboys scored the game-winning points on their next drive.
"The back judge threw his flag for defensive pass interference," Morelli said in a pool report. "We got other information from another official from a different angle that thought the contact was minimal and didn't warrant pass interference. He thought it was face guarding."
Face guarding is a penalty in college football, but not at the pro level. Back judge Lee Dyer threw the flag on Hitchens from the far side of the field. Head linesman Jerry Bergman offered the different -- and ultimately deciding -- view.
Morelli said he should have waited before making the initial announcement.
"The information came and then the officials got together a little bit later after it was given to me, the first information," Morelli said. "It probably would've been smoother if we got together."
After the game, the Lions were upset. They led 20-17 at the time of the penalty and would have at least used more of the clock, if not scored a touchdown or a field goal.
"I thought it was a good call at first," Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "I was told he did not make contact with the receiver. I thought it was the right call until he picked up the flag. I thought it was a penalty but that's not my decision."
Said Pettigrew, "I thought it was ridiculous, to be honest. But there's nothing I can do about it ... He ran through me pretty much, trying to get back to the ball. To me, it was obvious. To them they made whatever call and picked up the flag."
Hitchens, who was playing despite a high right ankle sprain and did not practice during the week, had a different thought.
"I was just trying to play defense and I felt like it was the right call," he said.
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was pleased with the decision but seemed to indicate he would be in favor of expanding replay rules to include pass interference.
"I've never seen one get that far into the next play and ready to go again and have it reversed, but I think that's a good thing," Jones said. "If we're going to stop action and we're going to have replay and we're going to have interpretation from New York -- which I'm all for -- and we're going to do all that, then we might as well get 'em all right. And, again, I think they made the right call in terms of not calling it. That's why they picked it up. It's not supposed to be."

I know, I just hate the narrative that's going to be constructed from it. Like the Lions were robbed of a Super Bowl if that hadn't happened. Stafford could have fumbled as well as any other possibility.

I don't think Detroits defense is all that big either.
They play physical but so does Seattle.
